Vase hollandais Delft double gourde, monumental polychrome peint à la main, années 1950

ON HOLD This polychrome Delft-style vase with a distinctive shape illustrates the bold and exuberant art of Velsen Delft pottery from the mid-century. Featuring a sculptural double gourd silhouette — a shape that generously widens at the shoulder and foot with a slight pinch at the waist — it offers a dynamic profile that is both traditional and decidedly modern. Rooted in the centuries-old Dutch ceramic tradition, the vase is not a reproduction; it conveys history through the confident lens of 20th-century design. Entirely hand-painted, the surface is animated with abundant blooms, fruiting vines, and perched birds, rendered in a sumptuous palette: cobalt blue, burnt orange, lilac, sage, ochre, red wine, and black. The vase is signed with the Velsen mark, along with the painter's initials and the model number.
